Artists talk about gear Dragon Ash's BOTS 2nd "Favorites are bought overseas, black copamundial"

It is said to be one of the best if you let football gears talk in the music industry
Dragon Ash BOTS told me about his involvement with football, his thoughts on spikes.
This time, it is said that it is a masterpiece of Adidas met at the age of 26 after returning to soccer
I am talking about spikes.

KikuchiAfter all I could not get away from football.
What did you wear when you resumed?

BOTS　At the time I restarted, I was wearing Nike.
I wonder if technology began to appear in spikes. The strings are a bit sideways.
I was wearing total 90 and so on.
When playing in FC FELLOWS it was almost Nike.
It is quite natural now but it was around Nike's ID started,
I am surprised to be able to customize spikes to my favorite colors and I remember making it.
I also put embroidery like a pro (laugh)

Kikuchi　The commitment to embroidery is also amazing! !

KikuchiRestart play at FC FELLOWS with Nike.
In recent years I heard that the members of FELLOWS are getting older and less active opportunities.
Since last year I entered Fc htk (weekday sports day soccer club) and regularly kicked the ball.
What are you wearing these days?

BOTSWhen I put on the spikes from the FELLOWS era, it smelled too bad (laughs)
The spike gets smelly at once. This is an exchange! I went to buy thought.
You can buy the spike on the internet, but it is cheap but you have to try absolutely not try it.
I just tried Nike's new Tiempo but I could not get in my mouth.
Previously I was wearing Tiempo, I thought it was wide in Nike.
"By the way, I have not bought Adidas' Copa Mundial!"
I decided to try it. It was a flower of Takamine at that time, so you could not wear it.

KikuchiWas the price around 20,000 yen?

BOTS　It certainly feels like I did a little over 20,000 in the image of the time.
The spikes of 20,000 over at that time are high Mecha.
So I tried putting my legs and found it frankly. I thought that it was "Awesome!
I felt I understood the reason why I have been loved for so long. That is why it is now.
The comfort is good, natural leather is soft with natural kangaroo.
Although spikes running on technology looks refreshing,
I thought it was different from artificial leather or synthetic leather like spike.
KikuchiWhich is the most different?

BOTSThe difference is the fit. Instead, it consumes a lot of money.
Leather is also thin and soft, it fits into the shape of the foot.
I think that leather will grow even if you wear one size smaller, so it's good.
At first it is good to wear on a tight fit.

KikuchiBy the way, how many centimeters are your feet?

BOTS27.5 cm. I thought 27.0 cm would be fine.

KikuchiAre there any points stuck with copa muonial now wearing?

BOTSI just changed the color of the string to the current model.
Simple design is nice, everyone knows! What is Copamun?
Even in the other football I reacted from the opponent "Do you miss Copamun?
"How about the children today?" I wonder if it is an old design.

KikuchiPeople of the same generation know Kopamun.
It is comfortable to wear and have a classic feeling.

KikuchiCome to think of it, do you have any memories of the Diadora spikes you brought today?

BOTSIt's not a Walter Zenga model, but it's a reprint,
I was nostalgic at some timing and bought it.

KikuchiDo diadoras fit your feet?

BOTS　It was a little hard, but I can put on it.
Something Diyadora is round in the end. Imagewise.

Kikuchi　It is a point of view that you can not notice without wearing various spikes.
Didaura was wearing Roberto · Baggio or something?

BOTSoh yeah. It's Italy. image of Italy.

KikuchiYou don't see much now, do you?

BOTSsurely. But you see a lot in futsal shoes.
When I go to the shop, I see quite a few of Diamondra of Gamsolor.
Now New Balance is concentrating on soccer shoes.
I do not try it because it looks fine as I see it. I feel like I'm going too far behind.

Kikuchi　Do you have any spikes you would like to wear in the future?

BOTSI also think that I can live in Kopamun for the rest of my life.
Is it good in the cycle of wearing this and replacing it?
Looking at overseas sites and various colors such as differences in limited materials and so on.
By the way, recently I bought a black Copamun!
I brought it today.

KikuchiIf you wear it and you play soccer again, you may be paying attention to your feet.
